Getting out of our cars and back on our bikes is a wonderful, free way to take exercise, reduce pollution and reconnect with the town.
We organise social bike rides and actively campaign for safe cycling in the town.
*COMING SOON*
In Spring 2022 we are hosting a BIG BIKE DAY - to map safe routes, learn bike maintenance and promote cycling in Northwich.
Can you help us promote low-carbon travel? If so please contact us.

- Can I share the journey with someone else? Or combine the journey with other purposes?
- Can I reduce the impact by slower speed, eco driving, car maintenance, correct tyre pressures and minimum luggage?
